Convention has it that the President of the United States of America is seen as the “leader of the Free World”. After today, that is obviously not true. I think there can only be one figure who could possibly step into the breach: Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He might not last long after speaking truth to the corrupt power of the duo of evil in the White House, but he has shown us what true leadership is and his fellow Ukrainians have shown us what a real “home of the brave and land of the free” looks like—as opposed to our sorry, supine, benighted, ignorant and flatulent country. He and his compatriots will live on in posterity as heroes; Trump and Vance will live on in infamy as traitors to the cause of freedom.
